I can run Hawke as an NPC, and add tremblay (also an NPC). Andrews as well?

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 450):

Andrew's is ready to go.

In reply to Thomas Matthew Andrews (msg # 451):

Post what you are kitted out with, please!

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 452):

msg #142 Just his normal load out on his character sheet and whatever ammo is left for the Charlie G.

In reply to Thomas Matthew Andrews (msg # 453):

Beats me how many rounds you have left! Anyone have an idea?

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 454):

I have 3 HEDP on my sheet and I think that is right because we were humping around two ammunition carriers (4 rounds)and I am sure I fired one after the resupply of two extra rounds.

Cymon.

Iltis, Cougar and humvee

Ah, Rubber Duck to Sodbuster, come over. Yeah, 10-4, Sodbuster? Lissen,

This Friday noight post has been possible thanks to Somersby Cider. Good weekend to you'all.

OK, Pig-Pen... have you seen Spider Mike?

In reply to Christopher Little Hawk MacDonald (msg # 457):

That artist is Canadian and it looks like he got the local Militia unit to help out. Actors in police cars cost money, the Militia will do it for a couple cases of beer! If you play it long enough you can see some Cougars, an Iltis or two and Militia armed with C7s.

Looking at these older videos I'll note that these days, cab-over trucks are unpopular. Longnoses ride easier on a long haul as the driver is not sitting over the front axle and as a matter of taste American truckers just prefer the look of long-noses.

Looks great! Thanks.

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 465):

Dangit, sorry for the holdup. I've lost track of the adventure and my notes. Whenever I wing it I always seem to need to scramble later to make up for it, so I'm going to keep looking. Will post when possible.

Tony

Hey Tony.   It has been a little while since we have heard from you.  How is the search for your notes?

In reply to Stanley Alistair Abbot (msg # 467):

Thanks for reminding me, I will have another look. If I can't find anything, I'm makin' it all up!

Fuck, I just realised the adventure is on .pdf (it's from a Challenge magazine). Still, losing my notes is a drag.

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 468):

Ok, I need to download the Challenge issue again. Dang! Should hopefully be done tonight.

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 469):

Regarding the Eryx, I will allow the thermal sight. Apparently although the system was deployed with the CF in Afghanistan only the sight was used for observation purposes. (This is similar to how the Dragon's thermal sight was put to use as a makeshift observation device.)

Tony

Tony,

I thought you'd be interested in this article:

cheers!

As a general rule, where there's organised communities in BC, things are usually not that bad. Not too many cutthroat "Bartertowns" have sprung up, if you know what I mean. The presence of the RCMP is a very good sign as Mounties traditionally have a high degree of professionalism and training. If this community is like most others in BC, your chances of being ambushed, robbed or treated poorly are pretty low (but not non-existent). Some communities are terrorised by deserters, or fallen under the control or influence of biker gangs or other criminal elements, and are correspondingly hazardous.

Overall, people have pulled together because of the war and the Soviet occupation. Relations between Native and non-Natives are also fairly good, While the latter usually have a considerable amount of prejudice towards the former, Native communities have by-and-large helped out and sheltered refugees and others in need as they could which has helped a lot.

Exceptions would be across the border in Alberta, as of recently under the control of neo-Nazi elements known as "New America". As well, down in the US the neighboring areas of Washington, Idaho and Montana not under direct military rule are quite hazardous, and over time as the situation deteriorates for the US military regime their control is slipping in the areas they do occupy.

Tony

Right...

I just mistrust roadblocks on general principles. A Mountie's presence is reassuring however.
